I am afraid with her age and her weight 121. she no longer needs this med.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Possibly, she is taking more antihypertensive drugs than needed. Stopping them may be needed. Consult an endocrinologist because she may need to take thyroid drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
